The British one obviously but when it was in bbc not the channel 4 version.


There’s a similar show on bbc..about pottery. Yes seriously. Think it’s called the great British throwdown. And it’s like visual heroin. Way more watchable than bake off

I watch that one too but they keep repeating the same 2 seasons. I also watch the sewing bee. Love brit reality shows.

[VinylGuy]

Oh I loved the sewing bee!! Forgot all about that. I don’t watch tv much anymore.

British is the gold standard. I've only watched the 4th Season/Series of the Australian but I loved it. I guess Season 1 has different judges and hosts but I'm tracking down Season 2 and 3 now. The American one is officially cancelled. One of the hosts (not Paul Hollywood) was a perv and they killed it. I found the hosts and judges pleasant but boring for the Canadian one.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

what constitutes canadian cuisine outside of poutine and caribou?

Canadians make a dessert that I've been wanting to try called Nanaimo Bars, looks pretty excellent.

Nanaimo bars are the absolute best. We used to eat them every time we went to Vancouver Island. I think they were invented there

[doone]

They were indeed, Ruddo.

I don't think the most of bakes themselves necessarily reflect nationality.

Nigella is replacing Prue on Bake Off. This makes me happy.
